Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

Hello, Kikimora. We've been paired for the month, so I'd like to talk to you.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

Temporary pairings are useless.

Re: Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

A lot of them are. [Easy agreement, no argument here. Ulla had all of one conversation that cut to the heart of why she's here before Warren, and it wasn't with any of her temporary wardens. Six months with only one significant talk about what mattered.]

I'd like to aim for better than entirely useless, though.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

Go away.

Re: Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

Alright, I will for now. But I'll check in with you again soon.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

Don't bother.

Re: Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

[She'll let Kikimora go for awhile, but she will be circling back not long after the rescue. Especially once she's talked to Hunter.]

I hope you've fully recovered from your ordeal, Kikimora. We do need to talk, please. Name the place. You're welcome at my cabin, or I can meet you anywhere you'd prefer.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

Don't you get it? There is nothing to talk about.

Re: Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

There is. Should I take this to mean that I ought to use my warden item to track you, or will you tell me where you'd like to meet?

I'd rather let you choose where you're comfortable.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

You would seriously track me.

Ugh.

FINE.

Wherever we won't be overheard that has a locking door.

Re: Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

I don't make a habit of it; I've never used my warden item for that before. I forgot I could until after John had already offered to find you.

But if you intentionally avoid me, I'll check on you occasionally.

I'm not looking to monitor you all the time.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

What are you looking for? So I am better prepared for our meeting.

Re: Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

Whether there's anything you need, for one thing. Your side of the story about what happened with Hunter in the caves, for another.

That will do to start.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

[total scowling. So she's already talked to Hunter, whispers Kiki's paranoid brain]

The counseling office will do.

[weboftime]

Do you want to watch movies with John?

And...me too, I suppose.

[Henry has no idea how to do this, but being blunt has always worked for him.]

Re: Private | Voice

[neverwaitslong]

I'll arrange for us to have some space to ourselves and meet you there. Thank you, Kikimora.

Re: Private | Voice

[stressingwitchface]

[She makes a face that goes unseen and shuts off the communicator without a word.

Kikimora can be found later in there, having negotiated a deal with Malcolm Bright to occupy part of the space]

[stressingwitchface]

Yes.

Wait, what's a 'movie'? It sounds childish.

[weboftime]

It's not. I have a whole device full of them. They're moving pictures. They tell stories.

[stressingwitchface]

Oh.

Well.

Sounds fascinating. Yes, I think I would like to see that. Provided the story itself is good.

[weboftime]

Of course. I wouldn't make you watch a dull story.

[stressingwitchface]

Then I will clear my schedule.

[sanityinruins]

So. How good are you with tools?

[stressingwitchface]

Why?

[sanityinruins]

I am working on a machine, well, somewhat a machine. Like this [ And here's a short video of a brass, silver and crystal cat that is batting at a glowing sphere held in a clamp among gears of brass and silver. ] and was wondering if you would like this sort of thing.
